Whoever was tweeting the scores during the game must have been doing it from a pub as well. Shocking stuff, and then announced Meath as the winners

The Sunday Independent today had 16 pages of "Sport".   A copy and paste of all the English soccer matches, a regurgitated article about Diarmuid Connolly and Lee Keegan and the rest was about Rugby.  There was not one inch given to the League Hurling Semi-Finals, not a mention and Iarnrod Eireann ran a train service that arrived in McDonagh Station at 4pm.  There were 20,000 at the game and probably 140,000 watching it on TV but these gob5hite5 dont want to know about our national sport on an Easter Sunday.

I was watching it on Eir and after the first 10 minutes I was going to ring Jackie Tyrell and ask him if he were around Semple would he drop in for an hour.  All came right in the end, great game.

That passage of hurling that went on for about six minutes will be a good memory for many who had the privilege to be in Semple last night.   

For jaysus sake lads it's March, the second half performance was as gutsy and as committed as you could expect from these lads.  Cha and a few more are as good as anyone else.  They are building and bonding (although they would want to bond a bit better when it comes to passing a ball to a spare man on the 14 yard line with nobody marking him instead of going for the solo effort)   I disagree with the "they are not good enough" repetition and it is unfair on the lads.  They can become good enough over the next few months. Maybe a bit more of an authoritative captain, a bit of encouragement on the field.  There is no point in crying about it and looking for a lower division, get back on the horse and go out against Galway and put up a fight, and pass the ball to each other, avoid red cards and you will do yourselves proud.

They just get a blow torch to them and melt them or take them to that ass with all the "Cash For Gold" adds.  Jaysus there was an awful spate of robberies the weeks before and after Christmas, everywhere, going into houses with people in them and everything at all hours of the day and night.

No.  Doesnt look like they will

The price of medals !  See what Nicky Rackard's sold for.  Also here http://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/homes-and-property/fine-art-antiques/value-of-gaa-medals-rockets-1.1855635is prices for mementos of Kevin Barry, did I send someone a copy of the publication for his mass when he was removed to Glasnevin Cemetery? O'Neill or someone?  I still have another one of the funeral mass of Kevin Barry if anyone wants it.

An All-Ireland Football medal will be worth some money in Laois when we win our first.

Great to see Magpie, AZ and a few more here after all the years.

No, not another Dublin thread, you are right. Not even a thread you have to reply to, just if you see the medals advertised give us a shout, thats all.

With the dominance of the Dubs in the football, and it likely to continue into the next fifteen years, I am asking anyone who has resorted to buying medals and who visits any of the sites like EBay, Adverts.ie, Amazon to keep an eye out for the following:   2016 All-Ireland Club Football Final medal, Leinster Club Football Final Medal and Dublin SF Championship Final Medal.  These were taken Christmas week.   (Unlikely to be in Laois, we don't need medals, only in it for the fun)
Thanks very much.

Maybe the Dub County Board or AIB will see this and go into Joe Duffy mode and replace them under the circumstances of which they were stolen.

I always thought it was great when Armagh won the All-Ireland, it did so much for weaker counties at the time because everyone thought, well if a piss-poor team like Armagh can win it anyone can. There was talk of three in a row (the only time they do three in a row up there is when repeating the leaving cert) and there were Armagh men criss-crossing our little island in helicopters as demand for their managerial skills grew. Others became mercenaries and joined Dublin, Kildare and other clubs to generously donate freely the magic winning formula.  Sadly it all ended like a great big water balloon and as always, just when Laois were on the rise the rug was pulled from under us again.

How are you Tony, was that the year I gave you two Premiums for the Final and you thought up to the last day that I was bluffing. We met on some back road like two drug dealers !  Them was the days

The Antrim manager needs to cop onto himself with his attitude during the interview on TG4.  If he can't display basic manners he should not have elected to go on at all. Tool.
